choosing processor...

[blighter]

hi all,

im building a new pc for use with a vast majority of things, mainly hosting servers (http, ftp, mail...) and creating software, but also for watching and encoding videos etc

im wondering what the best processer would be out of AMD and Intel and what would your recommendations be?

thanks

matt

i prefer to update wen i get to the point of checking the thing out the window lol at the moment i have a dell inspiron 1150 with 64mb graphics, intel celeron 2.4Ghz and 256Mb ram... and it runs windows server 03. its wayyy to slow though and i hate it lol
im buildin a PC from scratch, the only problem is is that i am 16, only work on saturdays and get about £120/month, which is mostly going into my holiday savings
i have found a lovely case... but thats about it.. i dont even have room in my room lol

any help would be great as my downfall is CPUs, motherboards and ram
